Product description

"Born a King" is a testament to Sizzla's enduring artistry and lyrical prowess, showcasing the legendary Jamaican artist at the pinnacle of his musical abilities. Released on May 6, 2014, under Savona Records, this album is a vibrant fusion of reggae, ragga, dancehall, lovers rock, roots reggae, and riddim, spanning a rich 1 hour and 18 minutes. Sizzla's distinctive voice and profound messages are at the forefront, addressing themes of resilience, spirituality, and social consciousness.

The album opens with the title track "Born a King," setting the tone for a powerful journey through 15 tracks. Notable collaborations include "Champion Sound" featuring Errol Dunkley, blending Sizzla's signature style with Dunkley's smooth vocals. Tracks like "I'm Living" and "Blessed" highlight Sizzla's ability to infuse positivity and hope into his music, while "Why Does the World Cry" delves into deeper, more introspective themes.

"Born a King" is not just a collection of songs but a cultural experience, reflecting Sizzla's roots and his global influence. The album seamlessly blends traditional reggae rhythms with modern beats, creating a sound that is both timeless and contemporary. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to Sizzla's music, "Born a King" offers a compelling exploration of his artistry and a celebration of reggae's rich heritage.

  • Sizzla's Vinyl Masterpiece

    5 out of 5 stars
    EdvaqnFfukiWJJanuary 8, 2026United Kingdom🇬🇧

    Sizzla and Mista Savona have truly outdone themselves with this fantastic release, and I'm over the moon to finally see it on vinyl! The main album is packed with powerful, infectious, and lively tracks, showcasing some of Sizzla's finest work in the past ten years. Plus, the bonus material on this double LP is a must-have. The acoustic renditions of the earlier songs are incredibly impressive, with every musician delivering their best. The pressing is top-notch too, with zero issues during playback. I can't recommend it enough!

  • Sizzla's Fall from Grace

    2 out of 5 stars
    k5bj6January 11, 2025United Kingdom🇬🇧

    Born A King", "Champion Sound"; Sizzla shines on some tracks, but on too many like "Set It Off" he totally messes up. Weak lyrics that don't match the riddim's vibe. And he even struggles to keep his rhythm there. Sadly, that's typical Sizzla these days. The careless, unpolished approach. Can't figure out how he's been off for so long. At 39, why's he still spouting these immature lyrics like he can't tackle bigger themes. He doesn't sound like a father figure, a leader, a veteran. His timing ruins "Big Man Ting". His laid-back style doesn't feel genuine anymore, lost its punch, even from him. Then "Why Does The World Cry" shows he relies too much on his licks and falsetto. Like so many songs he's done in the past decade. Doesn't showcase the incredible singing he used to be capable of. The production's solid, Sizzla's lame, again, way too often. A king has fallen, and it's been a while.

At 39, why's he still spouting teen-like lyrics like he can't tackle bigger themes. He doesn't sound like a dad, a leader, a veteran. His timing ruins "Big Man Ting". His laid-back style doesn't feel genuine anymore, it's lost its punch, even from him. Then "Why Does The World Cry" shows he relies too much on his licks and falsetto. Like so many songs he's done the past decade. Doesn't show the great singing he was once capable of. The production's solid, Sizzla is weak, again, way too often. A king has fallen, long time ago.

    Sizzla and Mista Savona have truly outdone themselves with this fantastic album, and it's about time it's available on vinyl! The main tracks are packed with energy, catchy tunes, and some of Sizzla's best work in years. Plus, the extra content on this double LP is just as essential. The acoustic versions of the earlier songs are incredibly well-executed by all the musicians. The pressing is top-notch, with no issues in play. I can't recommend it enough!
